    Yes make sure it is ethanol free gas. Go look up my post up on sloshing the tanks. Not fun, and not inexpensive!

    You were wearing a sweeter, and one of thguys was wearing a coat. Which would lead me to believe it was cool. Even in 60 degree weather I leave my Oil Cooler duct taped to restrict flow, it takes about 15 to 25 minutes of running to warm the Temp to 120 Degrees. I would recommend masking off part of the oil cooler so it can warm up a little faster,

    I love the YELLOW! I have a Blue Kitfox, I’ve grown to love the YELLOW!
